Becky, My labs reference range number for estradiol is 27 or less. But regardless of that my concern is my estradiol was running between 6 & 9, which is good.  Now its up to 28 & climbing as I mentioned. I figure my next lab will be even higher yet. (Even my onc said it should not be going up at this point.) I should be strongly meno-pausal after a ooph & zoladex?
What's your thoughts on my FSH? Its been staying really low...the lowest was my most recent results of 2.5. Reference range at my center for FSH to be menopausal would be between 23.0-116.3. How can I be menopausal if my FSH is 2.5 and my estradiol continues to climb? I'm sorry but I just don't get this? Thanks for trying to help me.
Chelee
